source for tyco contacts?
 

Has anybody found a reliable source for the tyco contacts that go in the OEM 48-pin connector?

(32) .040" Contacts (175061-1)
(16) .070" Contacts (173631-6)

Onlinecomponents only has one of them in stock. Neither Newark, Digikey, or Mouser carry them. I've found a couple of random places that do... but have ridiculous minimum quantities (I don't need 5000 of them).

did you try sampling them from tyco directly?

There's at least 6 or 7 different part numbers for each pin.


for the .040 ones try 173716: http://www.onlinecomponents.com/buy/AMP-TYCO/173716-1/

175061-1 are availabe as one, buy whats cheaper, on is loose in a bag, the other are on a strip.

the .070 ones are in stock, use 172631-1: http://www.onlinecomponents.com/buy/AMP-TYCO/173631-1/
